Oakford ******: ****** victim Jady Turner’s friends cause outrage over dangerous tribute

Grieving mates of Oakford ****** victim Jady Turner have carried out a dangerous tribute by doing burnouts on the busy road where the 22-year-old was *******.

A car was seen doing burnouts and speeding off from the ****** site on Thomas Road on Sunday, shortly after the occupants ***** flowers on the verge where he *****.

The stunt caused traffic to come to a standstill.

Other friends who were there left more peaceful tributes as they were forced to face a reality of life without their friend.

“(He was) full of life. Always there for his friends, his family, everyone,” they told 7NEWS.

“He had a big heart. He partied hard. He was a good guy.”

The orange Holden Commodore ute and a red Ford Falcon sedan were travelling west at speed on Thomas Road at the same time an oversized heavy vehicle convoy was travelling east.

Police say the ute did not pull over to let the convoy pass and instead clipped the oversized load before losing control and crashing into the rear pilot vehicle, a white Ford Ranger.

The 75-year-old man driving the pilot vehicle sustained serious injuries and was sent to the same hospital, where he ******** in a stable condition.

Road Police Commander Mike Bell revealed on Saturday that the 20-year-old driver of the Ford Falcon had ******* a preliminary breath test following the incident, returning a positive alcohol reading.

The dangerous tribute to Mr Turner, comes after ongoing pleas from authorities for people to take care on WA roads as the road toll climbs to 157.

“It’s another Saturday morning. I’m standing before you to tell you another member of our community has *****, a young male, 22 years of age, in a completely avoidable car ******, completely avoidable,” Cdr Bell said.

The 20-year-old has since been charged with dangerous driving causing ****** in circumstances of aggravation and dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm in circumstances of aggravation.

He was released on bail and will appear before Armadale Magistrates Court on December 6.

Jady Turner’s younger brother, Joshua Field, tragically ***** in 2022 after falling from an unsecured residential construction site in Maddington.

Anyone with information about the ****** is asked to contact ****** Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online at
